"I'm not trying to split you up. I'm just voicing my opinion," the maintenance worker said. "Since no one knows what the main quest is, why don't we each choose a direction and do our own thing? It will increase our chances of completing the quest."
"That's a good plan. Find a safe place to hide, and let us investigate in front of you. Once we complete the main quest, you can leave with us. If we go in the wrong direction, you can continue to hold on until the official investigation results are out," Kratos said coldly.
"Yes, that's what I was thinking," the maintenance worker admitted. "But I didn't stop you guys from leaving with me. Besides, I'm not doing nothing after I leave like you said. I just chose to ensure my own safety first before thinking about my next move. "
The doctor hesitated for a moment before saying, "From my professional point of view, the latter plan is indeed safer."
"You guys are just afraid. After seeing Coconut's appearance, you are worried that you will become like her," Kratos said.
"Who wouldn't be worried?" The maintenance worker said. "We are facing nuclear radiation in this quest. Think about the name of this quest — The Invisible Killer. We are facing an enemy that we can't defeat at all. Protecting our own lives is the most important thing."
"I will stay and provide you with translation assistance," Rat said to Kratos. "We can't wait for the official report. The sooner we complete the main quest, the more likely Coconut will be to survive."
After he finished speaking, all the players turned to look at Zhang Heng.
Only Simon had yet to express his opinion.
Simon was the most famous among all the players. Although Zhang Heng did not admit it, he did assume the role of commander of this temporary team after they entered this quest. Besides, he had a fan, Vanquish Boy, who had expressed his unconditional support for Zhang Heng's decision. In other words, Zhang Heng's vote was equivalent to two votes.
However, Zhang Heng's mind did not seem to be on the argument between Kratos and the maintenance worker. He stood in front of the glass window, looking out at the night sky. No one knew what he was thinking.
Just when the maintenance worker and the others were about to lose their patience, Zhang Heng said, "I will stay here."
Kratos, Rat, and the others heaved sighs of relief when they heard this.
"Of course, it's everyone's freedom to stay or leave. If someone wants to leave Pripyat, I won't stop them," Zhang Heng continued, "but from a personal point of view, I don't recommend everyone to leave."
"Why?" The repairman was taken aback. He had already made up his mind to leave, and Zhang Heng's decision would not affect him. However, it was difficult for him to ignore Simon's advice. After all, Simon was the top player among the players. If he discovered something that others did not, the repairman would not be surprised.
However, Zhang Heng did not intend to explain anything. He just asked, "Is there anything else?"
"No, no more."
"That's settled then."
This sentence put an end to the quarrel that night. The repairman and the doctor looked at each other and left the room together. After that, Kratos and Rat walked to the door. Kratos said, "I'll see you in my room in 15 minutes. Let's discuss our next move."
"Well, okay. But let's postpone it. How about an hour later?" Zhang Heng said.
"No problem. We can also use this time to pack up our things. I don't think we can stay in the Pripyat Hotel anymore after tonight."
After Kratos finished speaking, he walked out of the door with Rat. Finally, only Zhang Heng and the zhanmadao boy were left in the room. The zhanmadao boy immediately looked like he had discovered a new continent. He rubbed his hands excitedly and asked, "Idol, did you discover something?"
"I told you not to think of me as a myth. I'm just like other players. I'm still exploring the main quest," Zhang Heng said. He then pointed out the window, "See that?"
"What?" The zhanmadao boy walked to the window and looked down.
At this time, Pripyat was still asleep. The streets looked very deserted, and even the most dedicated shops had not opened for business yet. However, a group of people dressed like militiamen were disinfecting a sprinkler truck on the street opposite the hotel.
"We need their clothes," Zhang Heng said. "Once the officials issue an evacuation order, we have to change our identities to stay in this city."
"Do you want me to get their clothes?"
"Can you do it?"
"There are four of them, including the driver and the people behind them. I can deal with two of them at a time."
"Well, I can handle the remaining two," Zhang Heng said. "Let's go. They are about to leave this place."
In order not to arouse the attention of the receptionist, the two left the hotel through the window of an empty room on the second floor. After landing on the ground, Zhang Heng and the zhanmadao boy put on their own gas masks. One was to isolate themselves from the radioactive dust outside, and the other was to cover their faces.
Before the zhanmadao boy left the room, he grabbed a bottle of vodka from the wine counter. He then walked to the sprinkler truck with his head lowered.
One of the three militiamen noticed the sudden appearance of the uninvited guest. He said something to the zhanmadao boy and gestured for him to leave. He was probably trying to persuade the zhanmadao boy to go home.
However, the zhanmadao boy acted as if he didn't hear what the militiamen said. He continued to walk toward the four of them, and he even sped up when he was less than fifty meters away from them.
Although the militiamen felt that the intruder was a little strange, they didn't think too much about it. After all, there were four of them on their side, and there was only one person on the other side. No matter how they looked at it, he didn't pose a threat to them. And when the zhanmadao boy walked closer, the militiamen also saw the bottle in his hand.
This seemed to explain the zhanmadao boy's current abnormal behavior. So one of the militiamen walked up and wanted to ask the zhanmadao boy if he needed help. However, when he was about to reach the zhanmadao boy, he felt that something was wrong. He couldn't tell what the problem was until the two were less than half a meter apart.
Only then did the militiamen realize what was wrong. Although the zhanmadao boy looked drunk, he didn't smell like alcohol. Just when he wanted to warn his companions behind him, the zhanmadao boy had already made a move first. At this moment, he didn't look drunk at all. He directly threw the bottle in his hand at the head of the militiamen in front of him, and the latter fell to the ground.
This sudden scene also caused his two companions behind him to be dumbfounded.
